There are about 21062 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Italy. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and to demonstrate high pathologic complete response (pCR) and near pCR rates in melanoma participants with clinically detectable nodal disease and a high risk of recurrence. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy aims to enhance the systemic T-cell response to tumor antigens while detectable tumor is still present, inducing a stronger and broader tumor-specific immune response. Of the neoadjuvant approaches studied within melanoma, the neoadjuvant combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab has demonstrated high pCR and near pCR rates that may translate to prolonged clinical benefit.
Open-label, randomized, controlled trial due to value whether the monoclonal antibody rituximab is non-inferior to steroids in maintaining remission in juvenile forms of SDNS. The investigators will enroll 30 pediatric patients affected by idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, who have been in treatment with steroids for at least one year. The lowest dose of drug required to maintain a stable remission will be between 0.4 and 0.7 mg/ kg/ day. This trial provides an initial run-in phase of one month during wich remission will be achieved by means of a standard oral prednisone course. Once remission has been achieved children will be randomized in a parallel arm open label RCT to continue prednisone alone for one month (control) or to add a single intravenous infusion of rituximab (375 mg/m2 - intervention). Prednisone will be tapered in both arms after one month.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of trastuzumab deruxtecan compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-low, hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer patients whose disease has progressed on endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.
This is a pilot non pharmacological observational study. Aim of the study is to analyze the immunophenotype of circulating eosinophils in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, and to correlate results with clinical status of patients (stable versus exacerbated patients, response to therapy). In about 30% of COPD patients there is an increase in the number of circulating eosinophils, which associates with an increased risk for exacerbation. However, no data is available on the role of eosinophils in this disease, on their activation status and their response to chemotactic factors. By multicolor flow cytometry the investigators will analyze membrane molecules and intracellular cytokines associated to chemotaxis, degranulation and inflammation. The study will enroll 30 patients (15 stable and 15 with exacerbation). Results will be analyzed taking into account clinical status,disease progression and response to treatment.
The ALSpire Study is a clinical trial evaluating the investigational drug BIIB105 in adults living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The ALSpire Study consists of two parts: - Part 1: 6-month placebo-controlled study. During Part 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BIIB105 or placebo in a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio (depending on the participant's assigned Cohort). - Part 2: up to 3-year long-term open-label extension. During Part 2, all participants receive BIIB105. The objectives of the study are to evaluate: - The safety and tolerability of BIIB105 in people with ALS - What the body does to BIIB105 (also called "pharmacokinetics") - What BIIB105 does to the body (also called "pharmacodynamics") - Whether BIIB105 can slow the worsening of clinical function
Clinical study designed to collect blood for research purposes in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or in patients with a medical condition where the blood cells production is impaired. The blood samples will be used to study the role of Interferon gamma (IFNɣ) in graft failure or impairment of hematopoietic stem cell proliferation. The IFNɣ signature will be assessed by measuring primarily IFNɣ and C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 9 (CXCL9).
This is a phase 2b, randomized, multicenter, parallel group, partially blind (to GSK3640254 doses [100, 150 and 200 milligrams {mg}]), active controlled clinical trial. It will aim to investigate the safety, efficacy and dose-response of GSK3640254 compared to dolutegravir (DTG), each given in combination with 2 Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) (abacavir/lamivudine [ABC/3TC] or emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide [FTC/TAF])
Compression of the fourth ventricle (CV4), is the most studied cranial technique, commonly used by Osteopathy in Cranial Field practitioners. Evidence attributed to CV4 some effects on nervous system functions, however, the supporting evidence for CV4 clinical benefits is promising but still poor. The osteopathic tradition considers the sacrum linked to the cranium through anatomical and functional connections. To our knowledge, no studies explored the potential effect of a sacral technique on brain activity as an indicator of a neurophysiological connection between the occiput and sacrum. This study aims to explore this effect by measuring the alpha-band activity during the application of a sacral technique (ST) compared to the CV4 application.
Study to assess the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value) of DBV1605 for the diagnosis of non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) in children with symptoms suggestive of non-IgE mediated CMA.
